Skills and Attributes

[kebabbery]

Can someone explain to me how skills get ranked up? I never used ennerve and it's rank 4 whereas my flamebolt is still rank 1. Attributes are random too!

Certain skills only have one rank.

[Alkaline]

like zolander said, some skill don't level. Those that do level will level along with their given skill tree. For example if you have 50 levels in the sorc tree and never once put a point in frost arrow while leveling. If you were to respec and put a point a point into it the frost arrow would instantly be rank 13 or whatever its highest rank is.

not sure what you mean by random attributes though.

I think he means when you get attributes while leveling. It is semi random, on certain lvls you get one point and those certain lvls makes no sense at all

The auto attack spells like flamebolt, mana stars, endless arrows....are not level dependent. They stay at the same level forever.

Each set of skillsets like Sorcery, Witchcraft, Archery, all level up consistently with xp gains. For example, if you started with Archery at level 1 and played with it in till level 50. The moment you reached level 50, Archery would also reach level 50 at the same time. The levels on each spell in that skill set is predetermed. Like Piercing shot would reach rank 17(max) when you reached level 49. Obviously those skills that you didnt put in till you reached level 20,30 or whatever, would still be increasing as you gained xp. But every spell has its own max.

Skill ranks are based on the level of skill-set they're attached to (such as Flamebolt is based on Sorcery and gets a new rank every...I think 3-4 levels or so, which slightly increases the base damage but also boosts slightly boosts it's mana cost (the attributes on an ability that will change from increasing rank are listed in a different color from the other text).

You character level has basically no barring aside from what minimum level items you can use and how many skill points you have to spend.

Skill sets level up individually (basically each currently equipped skill set gets the same amount of experience your character's level does). Though if say, never changed your skill-sets, by the time you hit 50, your chosen skill-sets would all be 50 as well...but if you swap your skill-trees a lot you can very well end up being level 50 with the same combat capabilities of a 20-30 character.

Skills just periodically rank up as their skill-tree levels up. You don't have to do anything special to them. (Skills never change what they do, they simply become better as they rank up).
